KB Electronics, Coral Springs, Florida, a manufacturer of AC and DC motor controls, is proud to introduce the latest addition to its popular line of AC Drives – the KBG1, KBG2 and KBG3 Series, at AHR Expo 2018 in Chicago.

The KBG1 is ideal for basic motor control, offering simplicity and ease of use while leveraging the technology of more complex drives.

The KBG2 offers the freedom to connect with many of the common fieldbuses using the modular SI interface port. Integrated PLC is included at no extra cost.

The KBG3 provides a cost-effective safety solution. All of the work is done inside the drive, no additional parts are required. In an emergency, the Safe Torque Off (STO) feature stops the motor shaft from rotating while the drive remains connected to the power supply.

Misting Systems Pumps are used for a variety of applications; from keeping customers cool on a restaurant patio during hot summer months to maintaining the environment for livestock on a farm.

The manufacturer for this case study wanted the ability to automate the process for different misting systems and eliminate the need for user action.

Misting systems typically have multiple zones, capable of being turned on and off individually. The misting pump speed must be varied to maintain constant pressure regardless of how many zones are operating.

This was achieved by using a transducer to monitor the pressure in the misting system. The KBAC Drive regulates the pressure with a custom closed loop control regardless of any changes.

In addition, the customer benefited from using KB's auxiliary power supply for the transducer saving them the cost of sourcing a separate power supply.

The manufacturer also wanted special timing, safety, and diagnostic features to enhance their product further and the tools to quickly get their end users setup and running in a timely fashion.

KB achieved all of this with custom software which was built into the drive.

In conclusion, the manufacturer came to KB with a problem, KB listened and delivered a valuable solution, which brought a new design to life.
